Possibly: This area could represent pneumonia, particularly if you have symptoms of pneumonia. A virtual appointment can be booked online and the radiograph uploaded for a second opinion.

Pneumonia on X-Ray.: The finding of a pneumonia on an Xray is sometimes described as an infiltrate. That's the term a radiologist would sometimes use to describe the finding on an Xray.
